Sexy, sophisticated stylings from Chaitanya Rao

Last updated on: September 22, 2009 
Day Five of Lakme Fashion Week saw designer Chaitanya Rao showcase a number of urban, sexy outfits as part of his spring/summer 2010 collection. The unisex stylings were uncomplicated and attractive, with a dash of funky fashion thrown in. Here's what it was all about.

We start off with a teeny yellow bustier, worn under a pretty cutwork vest. The pants provide a dash of edginess with their bright patterning.
